Last summer Now You See Me, the movie about bank-robbing magicians, trucked to over $117 million at the domestic box office, qualifying it as a sleeper hit. Accordingly, it’s getting a sequel, because movies can no longer stand alone. If it makes even the least little bit of money, it’s going to get sequelized (see also: Hansel & Gretel 2: Hahahaha).

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know how I feel about Daniel Radcliffe. I’ve been interviewing him for almost 10 years. And while he might disagree, in my mind it’s practically a relationship. You’d be crazy not to want a relationship with him. Goddamn he’s so nice. Full Story

Is Ethan Hawke your re-boyfriend yet? If you say no, is it because you haven’t seen Boyhood?
See it. Then be the contrarian. I know the type. The film has received near universal acclaim, currently sitting at a 99% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But some people just get ruined by hype. Full Story

I interviewed Daniel Radcliffe – again – at the Toronto premiere of The F Word (What If in the USA) on Monday. Yesterday I interviewed him – again – on The Social alongside my colleagues Melissa Grelo, Cynthia Loyst, and Jess Allen. Full Story

Yesterday Lainey wrote about Daniel Radcliffe and how he’s pretty much doing whatever he wants, post-Harry Potter. At 24 and he’s already made his money and earned the kind of fame that never really goes away (see also: Orlando Bloom, Mark Hamill), so there’s no pressure to earn or increase his profile or anything like that. Full Story

Daniel Radcliffe is currently promoting his new movie The F Word. In the US the movie is called What If…because apparently American audiences are pearl clutchy about that kind of sh-t. It’s a romantic comedy. I love the variety in his career. He’s done the supernatural, fantasy franchise thing. Full Story

You been on Pottermore lately? Have you read it yet? Man, when I heard about it, I felt the same way I did lining up at midnight for the newest book. I thought I’d never feel that way again.

Rita Skeeter’s article is only 1500 words long and, ha, it’s a gossip column. With hilarious bits like this:

"Should we read anything into the fact that (Harry Potter’s) wife Ginevra has been perfectly happy to leave her husband and children behind in London whilst reporting on (the Quidditch World Cup)?”

Harry and Ginny are Brange!

God it was good to reconnect with these people. To read any detail, no matter how benign. Sometimes, the more benign, the better. And the way she did it, it was like, here’s what they’re up to, but, no I don’t really have to commit to this but since Rita’s just a tabloid reporter, none of this will stick. Read Full Intro

An emotional James McAvoy accepted Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards in London last night for his performance in Filth. "It's like Scotland's won the World Cup”, he said. Filth recently secured North American distribution but still won’t be released until Spring 2014. Full Story

At least he says he is. But he isn’t, really.
I’ve interviewed Daniel Radcliffe probably 10 times. Maybe more. Every single time he’s delightful. Every single time he seems like he’s delighted to be there. Which, he probably isn’t. But it would be unthinkable to him to make you feel that way. Full Story

Suppose you’re an affable, lovable male actor in your 20s who’s generally respected and considered to be both talented and kind of a get-along guy – sooner or later you’re going to get asked to do something that is a little embarrassing or has the potential to be silly or great. Full Story

Oh look. Daniel Radcliffe is back in spectacles wearing a scarf. Not THOSE spectacles, not THAT scarf...Here he is in New York on the set of Kill Your Darlings in costume with his hair curled as Allen Ginsberg. James Franco, of course, was the last to play Ginsberg in Howl. I loved him in that film. He was so. Full Story

I cannot tell you how much these pictures make me laugh. This is what happens in Hollywood. You are Daniel Radcliffe, barely out of your teens, and you are there because Harry Potter, your stunningly successful magic franchise, is up for some final awards, none glamorous, and which will require you to be the smiling face of the enterprise when everyone takes pictures of the Harry Potter team at the last BAFTAs that will celebrate the production. Full Story

It was my favourite sketch on Saturday Night Live this past weekend, hosted by Daniel Radcliffe. If you’ve been reading my column for a while, this is probably no surprise. One of the running themes is the abuse of Special . You are seeing the consequences of that all over young Hollywood and reality tv right now. Full Story

Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Cruise. They’re both un-tall. And both rather earnest. And eager to the point of not-coolness...which is cool in Dan’s case because it’s refreshing a young man of his age who doesn’t feel the need to conform to the brooding, hair in my face, dirty clothes ennui that so many of his contemporaries have succumbed to; and uncool in Tom’s case because, well, the eagerness is what happens when he gets off his motorcycle, in a display of manliness so studied it almost makes you angry how hard he tries.
